All Chapters of The Stripper Alpha: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Kai disappeared after promising to have a private conversation with Aly, leaving Ashvin and me alone.The conversation still hung in the air. I could feel all the tension I had been carrying these past few days multiplying inside my chest.Was there ever going to be a time when I could catch a real break?There were so many questions I wanted to ask, yet at the same time, there were answers I wasn’t sure I wanted to hear.When I looked up, I found Ashvin studying me carefully.There was no annoyance in his expression, but there wasn’t peace either.I cleared my throat and forced the question sitting at the back of my mind to come out.“Do you trust me?”The words escaped too quickly, before I could change my mind and ask something safer.Ashvin blinked, momentarily caught off guard.I immediately looked away.“I mean…” I corrected quickly. “Did you know my father had records here?”That should have come first.The first question had been too direct.Moongodess, I hoped h

We had been in the royal archive for over an hour now.Searching.Digging through every old and ancient history book our hands could reach.Well, my hands.Ashvin had completely refused to let me climb the ladder.The first time I reached for it, he gave me a look and declared himself officially responsible for retrieving books.So now whenever we needed one, all I had to do was point.And somehow without fail he would appear beside the shelf and bring it down for me.I laughed every single time he did it.But secretly…it warmed something inside me.Because he had meant what he said.We were a team.Right now, we had finally found the book.The book.According to Ashvin, every Alpha chosen by the Moon Goddess and accepted by their ancestral bloodline had their name appear inside this record.No one wrote it.No blood oath.No ceremony.No manipulation.When the time came, the name simply appeared.Which meant every generation waited before naming an heir.I tho

ASHVINI had been carrying this strange sense of euphoria ever since that kiss happened two days ago.I didn’t know how I had managed to go this long without kissing her because now that I had, I wanted more.After that kiss and everything that followed, we had stayed in the library for another hour pretending to search through records while trying very hard to keep our hands to ourselves.At least on my end.I tried not to linger too close, tried not to scent her more than necessary.But the memory of her lips kept returning at the worst moments and I knew that wasn’t what we needed right now.‘That makes two of us.’Zen sounded entirely too pleased.Ever since the kiss, he had been restless, excited.The mate bond had never felt this alive.It felt like something inside us had finally settled into place.Like the bond itself recognized the change and welcomed it.I felt her more now, the happiness she had been carrying.The warmth, the small bursts of excitement she pr

ALPHA ASHVINShe hadn’t moved.The gathering grounds had emptied long ago. The last of the Moonshine wolves had returned to their duties, while the Moonbright wolves had retreated to the quarters assigned to them. Even the lingering scent of fear had begun to fade beneath the afternoon breeze.Yet she remained.Standing exactly where I had left her.Motionless.Her gaze was fixed on the place where Francis’ body had been carried away, as though if she stared long enough, she could somehow undo what had happened.For a moment, I simply watched her.The she-wolf who had fought for her own identity.Who had survived betrayal, loss, and a prophecy she never asked for.Who had carried burdens no one her age should ever have to bear.Now she looked utterly lost.Zen shifted uneasily beneath my skin.“She’s hurting.”‘I know.’ The words barely formed in my mind.I took one step then another.Each one felt heavier than the last.This wasn’t another dispute for me to settle as Alpha.This wasn

I had been waiting ever since Ashvin left for the council meeting, anticipating the moment he would return and tell us the decision reached by him and his Elders.Was it finally time for us to leave this pack and return to MoonBright? Or was there still a chance for us to remain here?I didn’t want to overthink it, nor did I want to place him in an impossible position.He was the Alpha of one of the strongest packs in the realms. His first allegiance would always be to his wolves.One kiss couldn’t erase that. One kiss couldn’t make him forsake his pack for mine.Besides, Francis’ final words had refused to leave my mind.‘Again.’That single word echoed endlessly inside my head.‘Don’t let them bury your father’s name… again.’What had he meant?Who had been erased before my father?The sound of my door opening made me lift my head.Luna Verena walked into my quarters without waiting to be invited.The sight of her dragged every memory of that tower back to the surface.
